1g Energy Suspension Subframe Bushings

[Byrd]

Well, I purchased a full 4-bolt rear subframe that I've been sandblasting, painting and putting new bushings in. I went to the Energy Suspension website where they have the part numbers here. I purchased:

5.3109G - Rear End Control Arm bushing set
5.4103G - Sub Frame Bushing set

Here's where it gets interesting. Amazon ships me 5.4105G. I get on the energy suspension website and go to their instruction downloads found here and look for this part number to make sure I got the right kit. Well the kit Amazon shipped me IS THE ONLY ONE grayed out!! . The 5.4103G is on the same PDF and it's not available in the instructional downloads found here "17074".


What gives? I already burned out my rear subframe bushings so I'm pretty much screwed. The bushings are too short and two don't even fit. Has anyone run into this problem?

I'll be calling Energy and Amazon tomorrow to figure this out and get back. I can't be the only one.

5.3109- 90-94 rear end control arm bushing set for F W D

5.4103-90-94 front sub frame bushings for F W D

5.4105-90-94 front sub frame bushing for A W D
They don't make rear sub frame bushing.I got my rear sub frame bushings from Ray Peters.

Haha well... that explains it. I appreciate your post, now I have to go find out what to do with the subframe bushings that are burnt out. I messaged Ray but he's not interested in doing a run just yet.

I would have loved for them to have said front subframe bushings on their website and everywhere else they market them .

Shearer Fabrications made rear sub frame bushings out of aluminium

What sucks is you need to buy 2 front subframe kits to do the whole front. As far as I know there is no rear kit besides the pricey Shearer Fab ones. I'm using a set of Galant rear subframe bushings from Noltec which I hear they do not make. I had to make a metal spacer since galant's are a bit smaller.

My previous thoughts were to get poly off ebay and have it turned down in a lathe and reuse the metal sleeve.
